Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the role of public opinion as a political force that has influenced the world in profound ways over the last two centuries. Using the advent of the printing press as the starting point, the author traces the history of the free press and its central role in major events such as the Reformation, the American Revolution, and the rise and fall of communism. The author also looks at how public opinion has been shaped by the retrograde systems of the dayâ"monarchies, religious extremism, and autocratic governments. The book details specific examples of censorship and oppression, and shows how the determination of the people to access information and ideas has brought about great social, economic, and political change over the centuries. It concludes by discussing the future of public opinion, advocating that it is essential to continue to protect free speech in order to ensure the progress of humanity.
